ways of the AI
Basically I'm just playing short srimage games while I learn how to play. At some point I stop, when I realize I've made a horrible mistake or ten.
First thing that hit me with the AI is it doesn't want to share systems. It usually attacks on sight in a "contested" system. At first I completely overlooked planetary defenses, and many newly colonized worlds fell quickly to a single alien ship.
Weapons platforms have become a favorite for early game planet defense. They are availible right away in the tech tree and seem to provide the most firepower and variety.
The AI will destroy a planet I've colonized, or a ship, then say we should enter into a trade agreement, lol.
The race I use for now is a modified stock race.
Impulsive, Bloodthirsty, Schemers, Natural Merchants, Hardy Industrialists. 2K race development points. all atributes default average. Oxygen / Rock worlders.
